Disaster Management & Preparedness

Here at Tulane, we take a broad approach to defining “disaster.” Everything from tragic personal trauma and weather-related events, to global crises such as pandemics and war, all fit within the same wide net.

Our scholars and scientists within the School of Public Health, School of Professional Advancement, and the School of Social Work bring years of first-hand experience to the table, but it’ll take forward-thinking people like you to learn and apply these skills to better protect your communities from natural and man-made disasters.
